Re: Ghost 9.0 - This operation cannot be performed....

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have used Ghost 2003 earlier to ghost my S-ATA boot disk without any
problems neither creating, nor restoring the images via the DOS-mode ( using
Windows GUi and virutual partition to start the program, that itself booted
into DOS then again to Windows once task finished). Don't know about v9, but
would be bizarre if it now didn't support S-ATA drives that are now becoming
so frequent and probably will soon replace P-ATA/IDE drives.
Now using Acronis True Image.
